Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Body dissatisfaction is defined as a negative attitude towards one\'s body, characterized by emotional disorders. Currently, problematic use of social media seems to be associated with an increase in body dissatisfaction and emotional distress. Therefore, the present study examined the relationship between emotional distress (i.e., depression, anxiety, and stress) and body dissatisfaction, as well as the mediating role of emotional regulation and problematic social media use in this relationship. In addition, the study aims to identify sex differences in the four research variables.
METHODS: Measures of the four variables mentioned above were administered to 2520 participants over 18 (M = 48.35; SD = 16.56, 51% females).
RESULTS: The results reveal that women reported higher levels of emotional regulation, emotional distress, body dissatisfaction, and problematic use of social media. Emotional distress correlated with problematic use of social media, emotion regulation strategies (i.e., rumination and catastrophizing), and body dissatisfaction. The relationship between emotional distress and body dissatisfaction was mediated by the problematic use of social media and emotional regulation.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the relevance of educating social media users on strategies for emotional regulation. The results highlight the clinical importance of including the emotion regulation approach to a comprehensive understanding of body dissatisfaction.

摘要：
背景：身体不满被定义为对身体的消极态度，以情绪障碍为特征。目前,社交媒体的使用问题似乎与身体不满和情绪困扰的增加有关。因此,本研究检查了情绪困扰之间的关系(即，抑郁症,焦虑,和压力)和身体不满，以及情绪调节和有问题的社交媒体使用在这种关系中的中介作用。此外,该研究旨在确定四个研究变量中的性别差异。
方法：对2520名18岁以上的参与者进行了上述四个变量的测量（M=48.35；SD=16.56，51%为女性）。
结果：结果显示，女性的情绪调节水平较高，情绪困扰,身体不满，以及社交媒体的使用问题。情绪困扰与社交媒体使用有问题相关，情绪调节策略(即，沉思和灾难)，身体不满。情绪困扰和身体不满之间的关系是通过社交媒体和情绪调节的问题来介导的。
结论：这些发现强调了教育社交媒体用户情绪调节策略的相关性。结果强调了将情绪调节方法纳入全面了解身体不满的临床重要性。
